Just watching Dark this morning, and I really like Shanna. She has a great look, her ring work is solid and expressive, she lays her strikes in. I really hope Nyla and Shanna get a big blow off match to this mini-feud with some time to show their stuff.

Also, Shawn Spears has good comedic timing and I feel like they’re gonna have to turn him face at some point and lean into that side of him more.

I haven’t seen a lot of Diamante, but I’m digging her style so far, kind of reminds me of how Ivelisse works.

I’m pretty happy that they permanently signed Taz. He’s good at this and works well with Excalibur. I can definitely live with him being the second voice for Dark/ whatever the second TV show ends up being.

Shanna getting a pop for setting the table up right :3:

(edit): Nyla feels like she’s come a long way from where she was just a few months ago. Don’t know if it’s just her getting more comfortable or the way they are agenting the dark matches or coaches working with her but she seems a lot more self-assured in the ring.

Cutler and Grayson kind of look alike, especially with Cutler busting out the face paint now.

He’s gonna make a great Dark Order member

JR getting upset at Tony and Excalibur excitedly discussing dice was great.

The best part was him calling them video games and Tony getting all indignant

Sadie Gibbs went to the outside when Nyla was already out of the way?..oy. Kayfabe, is it possible to stop that if you see your opponent has moved out of the way?

Well, if I remember how the move goes, her back is to her opponent when she is doing the final flip over the ropes, so she wouldn't know if Nyla moved late in the move

I love that Coward Tony didn’t intend to show this and so it was shot with some garbage hand cam and then the match was so well liked that he decided “gently caress it, throw it on Dark anyway”

I guess I am saving too much judgment on Luther until I see him do something in the ring. Right now all I know is “sticks out tongue and points to head” a lot. If Japanese Deathmatch Legend actually does some deathmatch poo poo, I’ll be okay with him. gently caress it, put him up against Pentagon and give Penta some Vampiro flashbacks.

Mel just seems terrible. Which is a shame, I liked her look when the introduced her and shaved her head and all. But apparently she has been doing this for 12 years? And everything she’s done so far in AEW just looks bad.

oh but seriously I posted:

this is the most i have enjoyed havoc since the barrel match. probably helps having sonny in there. i do appreciate how he winds the arm before the whip

Havoc’s offense looks really crisp tonight and Kiss’ selling is a lot more consistent than it has been in the past. I think the classes with Dustin are helping him.

Shida should have been the first champion instead of Riho imo

I don’t think she was available yet, she was still finishing stuff up in Japan. I’m sure she’s going to get a run with the belt, she’s great.

Jack Evans is the best Jack Evans

"Colt wanted to close out the interview with how Evans sleeps on airplanes. Evans said that he makes the seatbelt as big as possible and then getting on the floor and laying your head and stomach in the airplane seat. Evans claimed he has never been woken up, as long as his seat belt is on."

Excalibur and Tazz have really good chemistry. Not sure why it surprises me so much.

Tazz is way better on commentary when he's not forced in a heel role.

May have been the best match I've seen out of Swole in AEW. Feels like she's getting more comfortable.
